The I/O port manifold design used to be function over form with a large footprint offering 6 ports in multiple directions, but here we have a much smaller version with only 2 ports that has its own pro and con- the smaller design is cleaner, fits better with the overall aesthetics and does not extend past the PCB height but you now have to get rotary fittings to get the same level of freedom you have before (and more). The addition of a polished acrylic top that the aluminum fascia does not cover entirely is XSPC recognizing what the average custom watercooling customer wants, and the bundled RGB LEDs w/controller are part of that.
